From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
under a RRO (section 44(3) of the 2017 Act? … The amount that can be ordered under a RRO must relate to a period not exceeding 12 months during which the landlord was committing the offence. The Tribunal has decided that the Respondent committed the offence from the 1 September 2019 to 27 January 2020. … The Applicants should have paid to the Respondent rent of £1671.59 per person or £8357.92 during the period from 1 September 2019 to 27 January 2020. This is calculated as follows: 4 months at £1710, plus 27 days in January (£1517.92) = £8357.92 In fact the Applicants did not pay this full amount in some case, as set out in the table below. … The Tribunal, therefore finds that the maximum amount that the Respondent can be ordered to pay under an RRO is less than £8357.92 of the rent payable for that period, as it cannot exceed the amount of rent actually paid. The maximum amount that the Respondent can be ordered to pay is therefore £7408.75. … In determining the amount, the Tribunal must, in particular, take into account the conduct and financial circumstances of the Respondent, whether at any time the Respondent had been convicted of a housing offence to which section 40 applies, and the conduct of the Applicants. …
